Privacy Policy

Atlas Navigation, Inc. (“Atlas,” “we,” “us”) operates the website atlas-navigation.com and related services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information. When you create an account, we collect your email address and basic profile information provided through Google Sign-In (name and profile photo). We do not receive or store your Google password.

Usage Data. We automatically collect information about how you interact with Atlas, including pages visited, features used, airport lookups performed, and timestamps. This data is collected through Vercel Web Analytics.

Device and Request Data. We collect IP addresses, browser type, device identifiers, and similar technical information for rate-limiting, abuse prevention, and service stability. This data is processed through Upstash Redis and is not linked to your account profile.

Crowdsourced Reports. If you choose to submit a wait time report, we collect the airport, terminal, checkpoint, estimated wait time, and the time of your report. Crowdsource reports are voluntary.

Payment Information. If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not store your credit card number, bank account, or other payment credentials on our servers. Stripe's privacy policy governs how they handle your payment data.

Cookies and Local Storage. We use essential cookies and local storage to manage your session, authentication state, and user preferences. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve TSA wait time predictions
• Authenticate your account and manage access
• Enforce rate limits and prevent abuse
• Train and improve our machine learning prediction models using aggregated, de-identified data
• Send service-related communications (account confirmations, product updates)
• Respond to support requests
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for third-party advertising.

3. How We Share Your Information

We share information only in the following circumstances:

Service Providers. We use third-party services to operate Atlas, including Supabase (database and authentication), Vercel (hosting and analytics), Stripe (payments), Upstash (caching and rate-limiting), and Google (authentication). These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually required to protect it.

Aggregated Data. We may share aggregated, de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you (for example, average wait times at a given airport).

Legal Requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

Business Transfers. If Atlas is acquired, merged, or sells substantially all of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or prominent notice on our website before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or legitimate business purposes (such as fraud prevention or compliance with legal obligations). Aggregated, de-identified data derived from your usage may be retained indefinitely.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Access and Deletion. You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, or request that we delete it, by emailing team@atlas-navigation.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Account Deletion. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting team@atlas-navigation.com.

Opt-Out of Communications. You may opt out of non-essential emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in any email we send, or by contacting us directly.

Do Not Track. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals, as there is no industry-standard method for doing so. We do not engage in cross-site tracking.

6. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect and how we use it
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of the sale of your personal information (we do not sell personal data)
• Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

To exercise these rights, email team@atlas-navigation.com with the subject line “California Privacy Request.”

7. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS) and access controls on our databases. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

Atlas is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at team@atlas-navigation.com.

9. International Users

Atlas is operated from the United States. If you access Atlas from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using Atlas, you consent to this transfer.
